I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I was under the assumption this planet would have no atmosphere and that nid ground units need to breathe. The dominate way to lose heat in a vacuum is radiative, with decent insulation and as long as you don't vent atmosphere you're ok.

>>48234607
Well, at least there's one Tyranid unit with access to the stock psychic disciplines.
>>
>>48234669
Lel that list will get shitstomped by orks m8.
>>
>>48234457
Space is 2.7 kelvin but you don't automatically go down to that temperature from exposure. We know Tyranids have bullshit energy conservation rules, such as losing 0 energy from inter-hive conflict, so it wouldn't be a surprise if their living ships generated enough internal body heat to not care about the temperature of outer space.

If the nids have the ability to maintain their heat in the near zero of space, they have the ability to do so on the near zero of this hypothetical planet.

Besides, isn't their fluff of them absorbing stars into the biomass? They could just fling the planet into a nearby star and absorb it.

Actually, it's highly unlikely that the nids would notice any planet at near zero anyways. Such a planet couldn't be in any orbit around a star, and with such a low energy, it would be barely visible in the night sky. Certainly there would be nothing to give it away that this random hunk of useless rock is out in the empty void between stars.
>>
>>48234669
Alright, let's say I would like to consider the possibility of having friends after playing this once. I don't need a list built for me, but what are the essentials to a good drop pod army
>>
>>48234669
That or nids. Or guardsmen and conscript blobs. Or really any light infantry.
>>
>>48234710

Drop Pods.
>>
>>48234705
Is not just a question about temperature differences, but more about conductivity.
>>
>>48234705
>If the nids have the ability to maintain their heat in the near zero of space, they have the ability to do so on the near zero of this hypothetical planet.

What if that planet's atmosphere is endothermic?
>>
>>48234705
>them absorbing stars into the biomass
You might be thinking of the Necrons. You got your fluff crossed with something else.
>>
>>48234603
Honestly I might do that just because that pic inspires me.

>>48234640
Aye, plan on starting some Loyalist when possible Iron Warriors later. This is more for practice and learning how to do models, considering that FW is far more expensive then the GW Starter boxes. Plus the skin and faces on the guardsmen is good practice.
>>
>>48234779
how would it be endothermic? That implies some continual reaction is taking the energy out of something, to which the question is: where does that energy go?
>>
>>48234649
i'd like to imagine that they painted the carnifex green to make it more orky.
>>
>>48234669
Its not that you won't have friends,
you'll just get blasted by literally any faction with a good list
btw you'll also lose turn 1 with nothing on the field like a faggot
>>
>>48234779
Well, the problem with a planet with an atmosphere close to the that of the temperature of space would mean that its very far away from a star and has very little to no atmosphere at all. Unless, through 40k magic, the planet is artificially cooled.
>>
>>48234814
the carnifex naturally adapted to the looting
truly making nids the ultimate bioweapon in form, function, and now style!
>>
>>48234746
>>48234779
Sure, space is surprisingly insulatory, and cold rocks are not. But the nids have more biomass than planet, by probably a lot.

Energy doesn't just disappear. So the nids can just drown the planet in warm bodies, raise the temperature a couple hundred degrees, while it slowly radiates the heat away.

Yeah 30k and 40k marines are different. They're both incapable of feeling fear, but the latter is more disciplined save maybe the Iron Warriors who don't care that they're going to die in the Ironfire. Marine making is more stringent in 40k to sum it all up.

Get some reading comprehension dumbass. You said quad mortars are cheese and "don't need to be taken", and then the response was "have fun dealing with [CHEESE LIKE SPARTANS AND KNIGHTS] with [SHITTY WEAPONS LIKE BOLTERS]. Nobody said to try to kill spartans with quad mortars, they said you wouldn't be able to deal with cheese like spartan spam without using cheese like quad mortars.

Your own fucking argument is "nobody brings cheese that's why you don't need more than 2 of these cheesy guns". To which I say bullshit, you're fucking clueless, and there's a reason not a single person in this thread agrees with you right now and every HHG is about how to beat retarded cheese people bring. The fact that the fucking Taghmata exists in its current form in a format supposedly made for balance and MEQ is already proof that 30k is unbalanced as fuck.

Get a Respirator, Sandpaper, a Pin Vice, 28/24/20 gauge florist wire(ALL OF THEM), and finally some superglue.

Pin fucking everything, superglue inside and out. And don't forget to wear your respirator anytime you're sanding or drilling the resin. As cancerous as 4chan is, I don't want to hear about you getting actual cancer.

Also, warped parts can be fixed by dipping them in boiled water, or with a heat gun. Resin becomes bendy and pliable when heated up, then hardens when cooled.

>>48235889
>Respirator, Sandpaper
Do you really need that for FW stuff? That sounds odd to me.
>>
>>48235945
Forgeworld stuff has an extremely high level of detail, however the resin often comes with problems such as warping, flash, and mold slip.

You need sandpaper and/or greenstuff to fix mold slip, and a good knife to fix flash.

Resin is a carcinogen if inhaled. That means IT WILL GIVE YOU CANCER. Protect yourself by wearing a respirator, or failing that, a dust mask. The respirator is preferred though, since the dust mask doesn't actually get 100% of the dust. Sanding or drilling resin produces dust that can give you cancer.

>Do you really need that for FW stuff? That sounds odd to me.
nah youll be fine.
>>
>>48235945
Oddly enough I haven't failed one gets hot role with it yet. And I have a very Riptide and battlesuit filled meta so you need lots of plasma and Ap2 especially if you're the Guard to survive. And as much as I love painting up Guardsmen it's more fun getting to paint up the tanks. Especially because with such a big model to paint it's a lot harder to mess it up completely.
>>
>>48235982
>>48235986
Well, that's good to know.


Now I'm feeling a little paranoid because I feel like I'll not be able to clean everything properly and have dust and shavings everywhere.

Why is it not in plastic, again?
>>
>>48236026
Reasons.
>>
>>48236026
Resin means they can get more details.
>>

Because again, the plastic GW uses can't produce a high level of detail. It sacrifices LOD for being sturdier, which is a common thing you'll find in plastic. Finer detail means using more fragile kinds of plastic.

These are meant to be 'premium' models anyway, with the absolute highest attention to detail. Or at least that's the theory.. I'm looking at YOU malcador tank.

Huh, alright then. That's good to know, especially since I'll be ordering tons of MkIII and some other things for my future IW army.
>>
>>48236048

GW can put on tons of details if they wanted to. They have some really detailed HQs and large AoS kits out right now, as well as blinged up marines.

The real issue with GW plastic is they can't fit FW quality sculpts on the sprue in multi-part, especially because for some reason they can't do plastic injection undercuts. Also even if they were able to perfectly replicate FW sculpts on plastic, the detail would be slightly less crisp due to being plastic. Even moreso if they outsource to China like they do with terrain or the city bases, which have very gummy details.

Nova's about as perfect a name for an executioner as you can get.

Also, maybe the name should go on one of the turret side plates, if you don't plan on adding insignias there.

Do you name any of your squads? My first one is squad Hope but I still need names for the other two. Thread can you help?

>>48236232
shhh dont tell them. let darwin do his thing
>>
>>48236229
Not the same anon, but I go by the simple "Squad is named after it's sergeant", unless I'm in kill teams. And by that point, all of my veteran sergeants are named after characters from the metal gear series. So I have sergeants Plisken, and Solidus, and so on. My Chapter Champion is named Master Adamska, so I literally have revolver ocelot as chapter champion of the raptors.

At that point the squads get referred to as "Squad Solidus, Squad Adamska".
>>
>>48236232
Thanks, anon. Sounds good to me.
>>
>>48236229
Well I do name my guardsmen, but I name them after the insignias they get. So I put the little skull transfer on one squad's left arms and they are "Skull Squad". I put little spade transfers on another squads left arms and they are "Spade Squad". Also "Wing Squad", and "Diamond Squad". Problem is, I still have more guardsmen on the way and I'm running out of transfer Icons.

I also ordered a new transfer sheet from the Iron Hands faction because theirs has these cool cogwheel insignias that I can stick on my tanks, so now I'll have callsigns "Skullcog", "Fistcog", "Tridentcog", "Holecog", and I can't see what the symbols are on the last couple but they look like squiggly lines and shall thus be "Squigglecog" until I find out.
>>
>>48236300
Cool theme anon. I might go for naming them after what they've done in battle. So one of them will be known as sacrifice because they were killed to man protecting their commissar who lived to hold the final objective I needed to win the game and the other one will be known as squad Green because they're the most recent one I've purchased and therefore not as experienced.

I do all my resin cutting,shaving, sanding and drilling underwater with huge kitchen gloves on

I always wear gloves and a mask when working with resin

After im done I strip off my clothes and put them in the washer and take a shower immediately
>>
>>48236384
Same anon here. That's pretty genius too as well as what the other poster uses. As I get more squads I may have to steal one of those ideas for my next platoon of Guardsmen.

Dont work with resin in your room mate

I do all my resin stuff on a makeshift workstation in the back corner of my property with a folding chair and a wood panel resting on a trashcan as a table
>>
>>48236412
A word of warning: The Command squads have insignias already built into the special weapons soldier's (were talking melta, flamer, and plasma) right shoulders. So make sure the squad insignia is on the soldier's LEFT.
>>
>>48236456

So work with it outside with a mask and all that, and build(?) and paint inside, correct?

The point's already been made and I've not worked with resin yet, fortunately. Just need to keep my dogs away from it when I work outside with the resin.

Please. Ive cut and sanded resin for years. No mask. There are a lot of carcinogens in the world. Unless you're habitually inhaling resin dust, it's very unlikely you'll have any issues.
>>
>>48236474
yes

The end goal should be to minimize or eliminate any dust or shavings by working with it underwater

What I do personally is

>Work outside
>Pour all the pieces into a big tub filled with water
>Do all my clipping, cutting, shaving, scraping etc underwater until each piece is clean
>Take them out and dunk them in a second tub of water to remove all dust traces, then let everything dry
>Move them to my garage workspace
>Perform all assembly (still with mask just in case)

Make sure to also have a fan on blowing the air away, since resin also has an odor that isnt too great for you either, as well as superglue fumes (the fumes are still there even if the glue is "odorless")
>>
>>48236504
yes, just paint them red. not like anyone would know the wiser, you can even make your own karnak by putting 3 heads on a dog

According to the Beast series, the Orks are a created race with genetic knowledge and psychic power encoded into their species. They are also genetically programmed to dominate and destroy.

The Orks, according to the series, can only access fragments of their racial memory and genetic knowledge. If simulated by violence and war long enough the Orks will continue to unlock their genetic heritage until they evolve into a different race (The True Orks).

So that raises a lot of questions. Who created the Orks and for what purpose? Is the True Orks a new evolution for the species or is it the Ork race returning to their original state?
>>
>>48236700
Like seriously do you have any army and play the game? Or are you just here to shit all over the thread?

>>48236700
if you actually buy resin from FW you are retarded.

shit from china costs 1/10th the price for the exact same or better quality, and most of it doesnt even come on sprue so theres no clean up.

then again you are one of the faggots who doesnt even play the game, so i doubt youd know.

The Old Ones created them and the Eldar to fight in the war against the Necrons. And I believe they never got to finish the orks so that's why they're goofed up and stuff.

It's actually already in the rules that there may be a points cost attached to a formation.

The thing is, I don't think any actually have any points costs, and some actually give you free stuff!

>>lords of war limited to 1 per entire army, per every 1k points.

Fuck that, just limit it to 1 period and don't even allow it unless it's a 1500+ game or it's a cheap LoW like Gabriel Seth. Also fix the bullshit psychic powers that are OP as shit.

Get all that main rulebook bullshit out of the way then you can focus on OP individual codexes but as it is even the main rulebook is a mess.
>>

For me? Pic related

>>48237108
Not him, but I myself simply don't like AoS because of it's aesthetics. It looks too much like a medieval 40k to me, and the Sigmarines could be mistaken for Sanguinary Guard at a glance. It just doesn't look good to me.

>>48237066
Why not FW's rules for it? All LoW's must cost less then 25% of your total points cost.
>>
>>48237066
I like having different formations. At least, I like the Cadian formations because many of them take a common IG strategy and give buffs to people who dedicate themselves to that strategy.

Like tanks? Well if you buy one more tank we'll give you BS4 tanks with rerolling damage!

Like Mechguard? Well stick a CCS and a fast attack in your army for a little extra firepower where you need it!

Like Gunlines? Here, have ALL THE GUARDSMEN!

Like Valkyries? Here's a special formation for them too! This one lets you drop guys off easier with proper planning.

Here's one for you Psyker-lovers!

Here's one for your Ogryns!

Here's one for your superheavies whose rules you'll never even use!
>>
>>48237161
That's basically what I was saying about how AOS seems to be more balanced than 40k because each formation costs points.
>>
>>48237156
I wish this meme would go away

aos has problems, but it has some good things too

the newer units have a lot more interaction than the recycled WFB units, the battleshock rules are way better than the 40k morale rules, and as long as people go in with the right expectations it is actually pretty fun
>>
>>48237200
what's even worse is Abnett has confirmed that won't be the last of the series

so prepare for another ~5 year wait for the next one

also the game has to many problems to mention in one post and im not gunna shitpost in the 40k general anymore about it

on a certain level I'd almost rather see formation bonuses get removed than points costs added

then there could be more formations and better formations, especially for weaker armies with shitty tax units in their formations

I think the biggest problem with AoS is that nobody reads the rules

which is also one of the bigger problems with 40k too

>>
>>48237241
Looks like someone's a little butthurt. But honestly I think Formations should be kept just they each should have specific drawbacks or should give less bonuses.
>>
>>48237277
all formations do is dumb down the game so that drooling retards can be more easily convinced to buy whatever shit GW feels like selling at the time.
>>
Why does GW keep pouring so much money and effort into WHFB/AoS with constant new humongous models and sometimes really cool sculpts too.

All of that money fucking comes from 40K profits they should be investing it in 40K. Instead they use 40K profits to squander on AoS products that become a loss/don't make as much profit as 40K.

Why.
>>
>>48237298
Well how do you play your armies? What do you bring? And I think it's reasonable to get some bonuses for taking certain units. There should just be drawbacks for taking them.
>>
>>48237298
You know the CAD still exists right?
Of course you don't. You don't actually play 40k.
>>

And your refusal to acknowledge that just shows how much of a little bitch you are. Nobodys making you play against battle company's or convocations or stealth cadres moron. Why don't you just be a man and say "no, I don't want to play against that army"? Why do you have to insist the game is unplayable?

>>48237349

I thought it was WHFB players who got upset about AoS. If I had to guess it's because 40K players are scared they will get End Times and Age of Emperor.

because its a terrifying thought that gw would take one of their staple games and do that with it

Eldar and Daemon CAD are pretty good. Can't think of any others with CADs more desirable than a formation though that aren't weaker armies like IG or Orks though. I guess vanilla marine CAD is also pretty good due to cents and bikes.

>>48237349
It's a stupid shitty meme. AoS would sell more but whenever you try to play it you get harassed by people who won't allow fun. It's mostly 40k players.

It's not about them being more desirable, in fact that's kind of the point, formations are generally unbalanced.

If they want to make AoS popular they should make warscrolls for 40k units. They're already on the round bases. I know I'm never going to buy or play AoS but if I can use part of my army as an AoS kill team or something I'd give it a shot.

yes, and the CAD is unable to compete with formations. because the concept of formations is fundamentally flawed, since they only exist for GW to sell whatever flavor of the month shit they want to sell.

>>
>>48237385
Rampant imbalance is what's killing the game. Formations are just a symptom of that.

Formations and detachments are actually a really good place to include subfaction rules and synergistic abilities between units. The problem is a handful of wildly imbalanced formations and the prevalence of "take 3 of X" formations.

Allies and the lack of limitations on what they can do with each other is another big issue, although the Transport FAQ is helping to lessen that.

you already lost the argument when you said that CAD could compete with formations, and that formations were good for the game.

What was your army?

>>48237694
You're welcome sir. And how many Russes are you thinking of having for your Guard? Or are you going more infantry focused?

Nice fellow Guard player here sir. I salute you. Were you playing tanks or infantry focused Guard?
>>
>>48237726
Thinking of footslogging Vets w/flamers and an Autocannon with Exterminator Russes, with more/less Russes depending on the points.

Though, I feel like starting a 30k Iron Warriors legion, might use the IG stuff as an allied detachment of Imperialis Militia to make up points when I need to.

>>48237365
Its better than the shitstain that 40k is these dayshow are those balanced xenos armies treating you? :^)

>Ad Hominem Fallacies

This was the argument
>yes, and the CAD is unable to compete with formations. because the concept of formations is fundamentally flawed, since they only exist for GW to sell whatever flavor of the month shit they want to sell.

And this was the insult
>you fail to realize this because you are a newfag and a cuck who'll just keep sucking GWs dick like a good little bitch. thats why you play age of shitmar

Notice how they're different things? Stop using terms you don't know the meaning of you stupid fucking cuck (this wasn't an ad hominen either btw).
